“For ‘Fils de Dieu’ Etienne gave me two films to watch: ‘Reflections in a Golden Eye’ by John Huston and ‘The Masseur’ by Brillante Mendoza. The fragrance thus was inspired by Asian cuisine (hence the rice), a Philippine massage parlor (castoreum!) and the body lotions (musk)”-Ralf Schweiger
The Elements Showcase turned one-year old but this January 2012 edition was its third edition. This bi-annual perfume event is trying to be a North American alternative to the European perfume expositions. With this third outing organizers Frederick Bouchardy, Ulrich Lang, and Jeffrey Lawson have evolved Elements Showcase into something which has its own vibe.
I think that the more people learn the more they will want to make their own perfume and in the learning they will become more responsible and educated about the environment and realize that ‘nature’ provides. This is the earth-driven web of life.
Sarah Horowitz is known as the force behind Creative Scentualization, and now Sarah Horowitz Parfums. She has three perfume series, What Comes from Within, Perfumers Palette, and PERFECT. I was lucky enough to receive some of her latest creation for the PERFECT series: Coconut Milk. A wonderfully almondy, warm take on a classic beachy note, I wanted to know how this fragrance came about.
